ATLANTA – February 7, 2017 – Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. (Ogletree Deakins), one of the largest labor and employment law firms representing management, is pleased to announce that six of the firm’s shareholders have been named to the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2017 list. Attorneys recognized on the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2017 list are the end result of more than 310 in-depth, independent interviews with legal decision makers at the world’s leading organizations. The only way to become a BTI Client Service All-Star is for corporate counsel to single out an attorney for client service exceeding all others. No attorney can lobby to be added to list, there is no self-submission process, and law firms cannot provide names of clients to be contacted. The Ogletree Deakins attorneys named to the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2017 list include:
- Ron Chapman, Jr. – Dallas
- A. Craig Cleland – Atlanta
- Joel A. Daniel – Greenville
- William L. Duda – Columbia
- Gregg M. Lemley – St. Louis
- Fred W. Suggs – Greenville
Duda and Lemley were recognized as MVPs on the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2017 list for being named two or more years in a row.
“The BTI Client Service All-Stars list is a prestigious recognition for client service, and I am thrilled that we have six attorneys included in 2017,” said Matt Keen, managing shareholder of Ogletree Deakins. “This is a tremendous honor for our listed attorneys and a testament to their unwavering commitment to our Client Pledge.”
